SNR (2.45GHz) very high with no associated STAs #10844

Open Ohfalderal opened 2 years ago

Ohfalderal commented 2 years ago

22.03.0 / TPLink C7 V5 R/T graph displays high SNR on the 2.45GHz band with no associated STAs. The LED also flashes rapidly. For the 5GHz the SNR is within the expected range.

brada4 commented 2 years ago

What are the high SNR values you see? -20dBm , i.e 1% noise 99% signal should be still ok. If you insist it is not wifi, it could be some other noise in the range like bluetooth, cheap walkie-talkie etc that do not show up in WiFi survey tools.

An identical device, excepting the version of OpenWRT, in the vicinity, does not exhibit the same behaviour.

set correct country code and auto-select the channel.

Ohfalderal commented 2 years ago

That has been the case since (see image).

Purely GUI configuration, same tradename, but v5, I am in a saturated area inside a city, so HT20, but it should fall to HT20 automatically if finding other wifi access point (most if not all radios do not consider non-wifi noise). Try jumping channels, 1-5-9-13, if it is the neighbors' baby speaker it may help.

@brada4 Oke, maar waarom zie ik niet hetzelfde gedrag op 21.04?

brada4 commented 2 years ago

@Ohfalderal Voor mij was hetzelfde met oude versie. I cannot report regression or progression between 21.02.4 and 22.03.0. It was all good all the way through.
